This issue features art and stories by several favorites. The front cover is “Happily Ever After” by David Bishop. The issue's first story is “The Malevolent Mannequin in Oz” by Joe Bongiorno, illustrated by David Bishop. So, you think Mombi is the Wicked Witch of the North, eh? What happens when she runs into something even more wicked than she is? Next we have a poem, “Tin Man” by A. Waller Hastings, illustrated by John R. Neill. Is this a description of Oscar Diggs, or of humanity in general? You decide. “Prince Pompadore in Oz” by Nathan DeHoff, illustrated by Dennis Anfuso. This tale, featuring Pompa from Ruth Plumly Thompson’s Kabumpo in Oz, is written by tried and true Oz scholar Nathan DeHoff, who regales us with the further adventures of the prince of Pumperdink! The back cover is “Polychrome” by Isabelle Melançon.
